Words


Six short text passages are spoken by the musicians during the performance. They are all taken not quite literally from Friedrich Nietzsche's “Und also sprach Zarathustra”.

Is it possible to stumble over stones and people here?
Do you also sleep better when you are proved right?
What child would not have reason to cry about his parents?
Don't skip a step when climbing. The steps are unforgiving.
Can you shake your head to make the load fall down?
As if there were only one footbridge to the future!
